About 0DH68UZ

0DH68UZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the stomach using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with feeding device. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (96.6).

For a different body part, codes include 0DH58UZ (esophagus), 0DH88UZ (small intestine), 0DH98UZ (duodenum), 0DHA8UZ (jejunum) and 0DHB8UZ (ileum).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DH60UZ (open), 0DH63UZ (percutaneous), 0DH64UZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0DH67UZ (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 0DH681Z (radioactive element), 0DH682Z (monitoring device), 0DH683Z (infusion device), 0DH68DZ (intraluminal device) and 0DH68YZ (other device).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
